Sunday ceremony in Concord honors New Hampshire's outstanding law enforcement personnel
CONCORD, NH – U.S. Senators Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH) and Kelly Ayotte (R-NH) and Congressmen Charles F. Bass (R-NH-02) and Frank Guinta (R-NH-01) honored members of New Hampshire's law enforcement community at a ceremony in Concord on Sunday for exemplary service on the job.
"New Hampshire's law enforcement personnel risk their lives every day to keep our communities safe and deserve our deepest gratitude for their service," said Shaheen, Ayotte, Bass, and Guinta. "The Congressional Law Enforcement Awards ceremony provides the people of New Hampshire an opportunity to recognize and honor those officers whose work is truly outstanding."
The New Hampshire Congressional Law Enforcement Awards were started in 1998 by Bass and former Congressman John E. Sununu. All New Hampshire law enforcement officers – whether they are serving full- or part-time – are eligible to be nominated for recognition from the New Hampshire Congressional Delegation. Awardees are selected by an independent committee of law enforcement officers comprised of current and retired federal, state, county, and local officials.
